lol....It's not a basic misunderstanding, the scientist said himself conducting the studies. Can weed kill you? Probably not, for the amount would have to be really high and in a small window of time. However does it effect your brain when smoked heavily? Yes. And he stated this with that little test they gave the 7 people who smoked vs. people who didn't...
How am I not calm? Where's an angry post directed at you?Dude you need to calm the fuck down. I remembered the temp of the sun incorrectly. No need to be a dick bag, I'm sure you make mistakes too.
The angry post is the one I replied to, and sorry you can't tell that I was joking on the spelling difference. Except for my mistake about what color the sun currently is, I haven't gotten any facts wrong. You may not like my opinion on some topics, but that doesn't make them ignorant.How am I not calm? Where's an angry post directed at you?
You kept denying a simple fact of science even when I produced proof. Then you tried to score some stupid point over spelling differences. The only 'dick bag' is you as you've been on several occasions in this thread with ignorant stuff but I haven't bothered saying anything until now.
At least you know why the sun appears yellow now.
It wasn't angry in the slightest. You just wanted it to be. And like many in this thread you have problems telling the difference between your opinion and fact. And you may want to brush up on your humoUr.The angry post is the one I replied to, and sorry you can't tell that I was joking on the spelling difference.

Aren't you the guy who said we'll have to agree to disagree because YOU couldn't come up with a rational reason for keeping it illegal? That's called a cop-out and it means, in no uncertain terms, that you are wrong and that you know it. He didn't insult you because he has no counter-point; he did it because you're frustrating and irrational.You clearly just flaming me proves you have no counter point because you don't like what I said, too bad, and you're very good at looking like an ignorant tool of the mainstream media 24/7.
You mentioned a buncha conjecture and outright bullshit, but nothing tangible.First of all, you saying "I couldn't come up with a rational reason for making it legal"
Actually, I did so that's your personal opinion. Which is really irrelevant not for nothing. Others have told me they agree, and I even said it's not even so much that I'm "against weed" itself, but rather what it'll lead to and that overall I just can't see more "good things" happening from it then bad...this is where a single person has yet to prove me wrong. Why is it good outside of sick patients? hmm, "recreational use" yeah...poor argument. And what does that lead to? ohh, people getting high and drunk and doing stupid shit daily. Perhaps there's some benefits in terms of profits but I'm talking more along the lines of moral and ethical reasons why it's not a great idea.
Obvious bias? I just explained why the government doesn't legalize it, but I'm the one who's biased? OK, genius.Ok, if there's such a high demand for it, then tell me why hasn't it been legalized yet already? lol exactly. And no, he insulted me because he had no point and let his emotions get the better of him. Thus, the liberal mentality. Instead of making solid points it's easier to call someone else a bigot, sorry but that's a flawed and failed argument. You're only defending him because you happen to agree with him politically here on weed. Sorry, but I can see thru obvious bias at times.
NO, you're still completely missing the point. This is the difference, ONCE AFUCKINGGAIN:@Revolver, yeah you know scientists did these studies right? Minus that one article where a student conducted his own studies...I'm referring to various links.I see, so in other words what it comes down to is this"The results of the studies discussed above demonstrate that many heavy users of marijuana experience some form of memory or brain impairment".You feel that this quote implies "correlation means causation" or that I said that? Which I never did...so yeah, why do you keep saying that? I'm merely pointing out the facts, as you and few others here keep denying but I'm not going to force anything down anyone's throat at this point. I'm saying either WAY, heavy smokers=have a negative effect on the brain as they didn't do as well as the opposition in sober people who took the test without smoking weed. That is my point. I really don't care if it kills or not brain cells, either way it still effects the brains functions in not a good way and increases risks of heart attacks.I love how these little things are just ignored but then I'm here trying to get thru to stoners and potheads so I should like go back in time and tell myself, are you serious dude? It's like someone trying to tell me to stop playing MK, just not going to happen lol.
That post wasnt to you.eks

lol I'm not being a dickbag AJ, and I'm not even that angry to be honest. Just tired of trying to get thru to some people on here...if I was being a "dickbag" as you say I'd just flame everyone, clearly I'm not doing that or going to. No point and that's hardly productive.

Oh, my fault thenThat post wasnt to you.
Yeah I learned how to understand how research works and what a fact is in school. Maybe you should learn these things.rev, no you are man lol. I'm talking about general impairment and effects on the brain when smoked heavily and often. Period. lol I know all about it, you're the one missing a simple concept denying that weed has "any negative effect or impairment" on the brain. Whatever man, you're a stoner so I don't expect you to understand...ego? lol hardly, I don't care to be honest. I'm not the one going around acting as if I know everything. I did though at one point...when I was younger. You'll learn.
You've said pot should continue to be illegal, which is forcing a bunch of people NOT to do something, or if they choose to do it, risk legal consequences. If you said "hey I don't think people should be doing weed recreationally, but I support their right to do so anyway" that would be different. Supporting criminalization of recreational drug use IS violating personal freedom. Of course with freedom comes responsiblity. If your drug use causes harm to others, that should increase, not decrease the penalty. Kill someone b/c you were DUI, automatic first degree murder.OMG, you just don't get it. I'm NOT forcing people what to do, I just said HOW I felt morally as it's my RIGHT.
Ya, I never understood the reasoning that its ok to deny rights if it was a choice. Like, who cares if it is or not? I don't see how it should affect a persons rights. The right to bear arms is meant to allow you to protect yourself from danger, its really the right to defense more than anything.So now that it has been scientifically proven that being homosexual is not a choice, is there any justifiable reason for Congress and other politicians to KEEP denying them rights? This has always bothered me, like the new laws that are protecting gun owners and hunters. Those people spout bullshit about how they have rights but gays don't too? What is the difference between gays and them, except that gays as a whole are a lot less dangerous(And with regards to the hunters, less detrimental to the environment).
Thoughts?
Im talking about the new law they are making that prevents the government from protecting any animal species. It will give hunters the right to go into any national parks and just start hunting. It prevents the government from making any laws or creating sanctuaries. Scary stuff. And yet gays are more dangerous to some people(I do see your point though and have no problem with hunting, as long as it is controlled)Ya, I never understood the reasoning that its ok to deny rights if it was a choice.

Hunters don't always have a negative impact on the environment. In many cases they are helping control populations of animals which no longer have any natural preditors (likely our fault) or are not indigenous.
Oh damn, I didn't know about that law. That is bs.Im talking about the new law they are making that prevents the government from protecting any animal species.

I understand the right to bear arms, I am just point out the hypocrisy of all these gunowners being so uptight about their PERSONAL CHOICE but when someone is gay then they shouldnt get rights at all.
You'd vote against weed if it were on a ballot, and that's where you would be forcing your opinion/morals onto others.OMG, you just don't get it. I'm NOT forcing people what to do, I just said HOW I felt morally as it's my RIGHT. Don't like it? too bad, lol yeah I don't like nor agree with your opinions either but you're still entitled to it. Yes, I have it's garbage and tastes and smells like garbage and makes you stupid. Happy?
This is why people say you're an idiot. I've never said or implied that weed is the only way you can wind down after a hard day at work. I'm saying that there's nothing wrong with using weed for that purpose. You're fucking stupid if you think alcohol is a good alternative to weed.Well, I disagree with you on "why it's good for recreational uses" ok, umm first off all that's your opinion. You know what else you can do to relax aftera hard days work? hmm, work out, hang out with friends, have sex, meditate, sleep, read a book, play video games as it actually is good for your brain believe it or not (some games more so then others though), yoga, having a drink(not getting wasted, having a drink or two), playing sports etc, etc I can go on and on but yeah, you act as if "weed" is the only solution to escaping problems and relaxing...I don't get your uncle never being arrested point at all, I have relatives and friends who've smoked pot yet never got arrested(they also never got caught) so yeah...I've done things that were questionable when I was a kid, but I don't see how that's relevant to weed and how it effects people, and why some want it to smoke at 7/11.
Once again, I never said weed would ELIMINATE (or "ridded completely" for the less literate) crime. It will reduce it. I also don't think saying "it doesn't help anyone" is a decent argument for shitting on our personal freedoms.Crime rate actually in certain parts of the USA is reduced, example? NYC where I live...compared to the Dinkins era. Crime will never be ridded completely unless you have a real life Justice League that people fear, but we can reduce it. Drugs however, don't help anyone unless it's for a medical purpose more times then not. You can't convince me weed, coc, crack, meth etc does more good then bad. And tax money? Maybe if politicians reduced taxes and instead of putting more of it in their pockets, let the people have more money to save and use maybe? Just an idea. You keep saying "government shouldn't control us" yes I agree, then that includes taking more money then they need and thinking they know what's best for the people, when the people can think and do for ourselves.
Dude, it's just my opinion ok...and trust me, if people want it BAD enough they'll get weed, it's not like it's that hard to get...ever hear of the black market? lol as long as whatever is illegal, there's always demand for it on the black market, if you know people who know people it's easy as pie to get. Well, there you go, and yes I've said that before. I don't know why you have an issue with my views. I said when the topic of weed first came up. "I fully support weed for medical purposes only...just not recreational"You've said pot should continue to be illegal, which is forcing a bunch of people NOT to do something, or if they choose to do it, risk legal consequences. If you said "hey I don't think people should be doing weed recreationally, but I support their right to do so anyway" that would be different.

What's that? Maybe I'll try it since this thread gives me a headache lol.Pasting>Smoking da ganj
